Smart camera weQube series 2016

The wenglor company announces significant improvements to its range of products for industrial image processing.

In particular, in addition to being equipped with barcode scanning and imaging processing functions, the weQube Smart sensor camera has been enhanced with optic character recognition (OCR).
The combination of these three modules makes the system universally compatible, and to this is added the possibility of affixing a C-mount (focus lenses) directly onto the smart camera, facilitated by new hardware featuring a standard screw attachment.
The modular range is available in six versions with the OCR module and is intended to meet the most diverse industrial requirements: whether autofocus or C-mount, or two different color and monochrome image chips, with three web options or different communication interfaces, weQube offers the right solution for every scenario. Standard features on all models include both Profinet and EtherNet/IPTM protocols, selected via management software. Having achieved unprecedented flexibility, wenglor concretely illustrates that the future of industrial automation in the spirit of Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory is now a reality.

Optic character recognition (OCR). OCR makes it possible to read preset OCR-B characters and OCR-A characters on multiple lines in a single scanning operations, and the teach-in function offers the additional possibility of teaching the system new fonts. The software’s user interface can be set in ten different languages.
